Millers v Cherries Preview

Rotherham entertain fellow ‘minus pointers’ Bournemouth this weekend at Don Valley. Both teams will be raring to go after having their games called off last week with both hoping to pick up points. The Cherries last win was just before Christmas at home to high-flying Bury with the Millers not losing since the beginning of December at Shrewsbury.
